Seven Managed Services Blogs MSPmentor Didn’t Write: Dec. 17

By now you likely know Autotask announced a new CEO earlier today. But the broader industry story doesn't end there. We expect several other executive-level moves to occur in the managed services market over the next few weeks.

By now you likely know Autotask announced a new CEO earlier today. But the broader industry story doesn’t end there. We expect several other executive-level moves to occur in the managed services market over the next few weeks. We’re chasing the resumes and the offer letters now — which means we’ve let a few potential blog entries slip through the cracks. So, here are seven managed services blogs MSPmentor didn’t have a chance to write for the week ending December 17, 2010.

5. Double Vision: LabTech Software, the RMM vendor, is set to launch Q1 workshops in California, Texas and Georgia. Officially, the gatherings are workshops. But I wonder if they’ll be similar in design to the ConnectWise User Group quarterly gatherings. (ConnectWise Capital invested in LabTech earlier this year.)

4. Truly Shameless Plug: Thanks to those who visited TalkinCloud — MPSmentor’s new sister site. Traffic on TalkinCloud during its launch week was 53 percent higher than traffic on MSPmentor during its launch week. Of course, we realize the site community will take some time to build… The seven most popular blogs on TalkinCloud this week were:

3. On the Move:Access Northeast, a New England data center and managed services provider, has hired John Holland as VP of sales. He’ll focus on Access Northeast’s colocation, cloud and managed services business throughout New England. Over the past decade, Holland served as the regional VP of sales at SunGard Availability Services in Massachusetts.

2. Heading North (Again): I’m looking to head south to stay warm this winter. But some executives in the managed services market will be heading north. Hot MSP software opportunities in a cold climate? Perhaps. Stay tuned and don’t forget to carry your Visa. We expect to share more details soon.

1. Name Dropper: MSPmentor reported last night that Level Platforms, Intronis and Reflexion are working with Synnex (a big distributor) on a managed services freemium strategy. Three readers have stepped forward to say our report missed at least one other company involved in the potential Synnex engagement. As you may have guessed… we’re digging for details again 😉
